September 2019 GOCE Newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors September 2019 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2019. June election: Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated! June Blitz: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with requests. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of 585 articles while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May 2015. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March 2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585. Requests page: We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion on REQ Talk (permalinked) initiated by Bobbychan193 has resulted in Zhuyifei1999 writing a bot script for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3 October; for this reason, no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over. We will then assess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent. September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Template editor
I thought what a strange reaction, 'til I looked up wikt:boner#Noun. I'd never heard of #3 before. Cabayi (talk) 07:23, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Cabayi: If you have the chance, look up the Batman comic where the Joker goes on a spree of "boner" crimes. In this day and age, it looks positively lewd. Sceptre (talk) 09:50, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Universitatea Craiova
Dear Sceptre,
I am writing regarding the revert you made on the CS Universitatea Craiova page. That is not what I meant. The change suggested on 25 September is correct. What I meant with the next edit request was that the whole page needs to be separated.
The judgment I provided means that the team founded in 2013 has nothing to do with the one in 1948. They have the same name but are essentially different. The new team (the one in 2013) does not have the history, records and honors of the one founded in 1948. That is exactly what the court said.
Consequently, we have two different clubs that happen to share the same name, however they are two and different, not one. Thus, my plea was to divide the page in two different ones, one for the team of 1948 and the other for the team of 2013. I explained there in detail what those changes imply. I cannot edit the page myself otherwise I would.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. I am obligated to provide you with this notice, apologies if it doesn't follow how you want your talk page to be laid out. Chieftain Tartarus (talk) 19:50, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
RfC over at Talk:Self-coup#RfC_on_Boris_Johnson
I have started an RfC with hopes of leading to some constructive consensus by the time the protection expires on the article. Your opinions and views on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully this can finally draw a close on this conflict. I recognise our previous discussion was rather heated and was hoping that by starting fresh in a more official form that we can put this right. Chieftain Tartarus (talk) 21:20, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
Recognition
Hi. I often see you around doing great work on template-protected requests. It's great to have your help. I remember you back in 2006 I think, long time now :) Cheers — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:13, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello, Sceptre,
I just wanted to double-check with you that you also wanted this page deleted but you couldn't post a CSD tag on it because of the protection on it. Just let me know and I'll delete it for you. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 13:01, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Gjirafa
Hello Sceptre,
In regard to this submission: Draft:Gjirafa.com it was declined with the following message "This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies."
I wanted to reach out and understand better, since this is the first article for me.
1. Can you please help me revise if you believe that it reads as an advertisement? (I have taken the writing style from a reputable wikipedia page, i.e., Amazon (company) since I have declared on my page I have conflict of interest to this article). Any advice/help on this area would be highly appreciated.
2. In terms of referring to reliable source, the Gjirafa article has tier one sources, e.g.,
A. The Economist The_Economist B. NZZ Neue_Zürcher_Zeitung C. TechCrunch [TechCrunch]] D. Sec.gov filing U.S._Securities_and_Exchange_Commission E. nyu.edu New_York_University F. peer reviewed academic journal Springer Publishing, etc
Optimus212 (talk) 10:52, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Optimus212: It's a writing style question, mostly; it seems as the citations are being used to make the corporation seem more notable than it is. At the same time, there is also the question of notability of corporations to deal with; I think Gjirafa are on the wrong side of that bubble at the moment. Sceptre (talk) 00:47, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
Draft: Adam Fitch
Hi, thank you for reviewing the draft for Adam Fitch. Can you explain why he doesn’t seem notable enough for a page please? I believe the contents of the page proves he’s done work that is of importance to esports.
Thank you, Gillian Gillianwalker123 (talk) 11:29, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Gillianwalker123: It's a case of Fitch being a big fish in a small pond – he's still in a small pond. There is somewhat of a high bar for journalists, and I can't see how he passes WP:N in general or WP:JOURNALIST specifically; if the UK eSports Award was itself notable, I think it'd be a different question.

Page mover granted
Hello, Sceptre. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Useful links:
- Wikipedia:Requested moves
- Category:Articles to be moved, for article renaming requests awaiting action.
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 12:18, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:57, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
- @ThatMontrealIP: could you explain a bit further? I’m confused what this has to do with me. Sceptre (talk) 04:07, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hello! You were listed in a case on COIN. See the page linked above. I noticed that many users had not been notified, even though the page says to do so, so I did a round of notifications.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:12, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
The Great Replacement
I see no level of support in Talk:Great Replacement#Requested move 18 September 2019 to justify any page move. Only the nom and 2 others endorsed removing "The" in this way. This should be returned to its prior title (The Great Replacement) and closed as "no consensus". -- Netoholic @ 13:16, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Netoholic: In the discussion, there was a consensus for removing the definite article in some way. That's why I closed the discussion how I did; the two most popular titles by far were both without the definite article, but there's no consensus over the words "conspiracy theory". It's not a first-past-the-post situation at all. Sceptre (talk) 18:35, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
- Its incorrect to consider the "+ conspiracy theory" options for consensus about the THE. Those suggested options also include lowercasing to "replacement" and removal of The is a natural consequence of replacing use of the proper name with generic terms. Your solution is a half-measure which satisfies only 3 participants. This is a clear "no consensus" situation. -- Netoholic @ 20:09, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
Move of Rye Dale
I created the article Rye Dale, and unfortunately I was not notified of the RM, so could not contribute to the discussion before you closed it yesterday.
Rye Dale is the name of the dale or upper valley of the River Rye. Ryedale is the name of a local government district which covers a much broader area - as one of the sources cited (http://www.yorkshiremoors.co.uk/gazetteer/rye_dale.html) says, "a number of 'Ryedale' villages are not actually in Rye Dale". One contributor claimed that there are no reliable sources for the name Rye Dale. That is not true. The most authoritative source for British place names is probably the Ordnance Survey, which uses Rye Dale (not Ryedale) to refer to the upper valley (54°16′55″N 1°08′08″W / 54.28188°N 1.13558°W go to OS maps on the Bing Maps UK line, then enlarge to the 1:25000 scale).
I really think the move should be reversed. If not, the redirect should be to River Rye, Yorkshire, as one editor suggested. But most dales of any size in Yorkshire have their own article, because each tends to be the name of a distinct geographical area and community which is not the same as the river which often give the dales its name (e.g Eskdale, Coverdale, Swaledale, Wharfedale, Nidderdale). And "dale" usually refers to the upper valley of a river and not the lower course of the river. In its lower course the Rye flows through the Vale of Pickering, which no-one would describe as a dale.--Mhockey (talk) 21:32, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Mhockey: It's more of a merge than a move, and you're more than welcome to reverse it if you wish; there was scant discussion and I had to apply some of my local knowledge to it; though I'm from the other end of Yorkshire, it did seem clear to me that the Rye Dale was mostly encompassed within Ryedale (with the upper course being in Hambleton DC). I chose to go with the redirect to the council area because of the principle of least astonishment, but nothing is set too much in stone. Sceptre (talk) 21:51, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Jat people
That's an odd close at Talk:Jat people#Requested move 4 October 2019. True, there was no consensus to move that page (though I'd probably have relisted given that the idea was floated that Jats might be more in line with the naming conventions). But I'm really struggling to see the consensus to move Jat (disambiguation). Yes, two people claimed there was no primary topic, but they didn't substantiate that claim at all. Two others, however, argued, giving evidence, that the Jats are the primary topic. Any chance you might have closed it like that by mistake? – Uanfala (talk) 20:08, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
